HORUS spectrometer

Horus is a cube spectrometer with 14 positions (on the edges and faces) for germanium detectors, six of which are provided with BGO suppression. For lifetime measurements using electronic timing, LaBr scintillators are also possible at these positions. In addition to the small target chamber for angular correlation experiments etc., there are two further chambers with additional functions. The first is the astro chamber, which has an electrically insulated (and therefore also current-readable) target chamber and a silicon detector for Rutherford backscattering. Details are described in F. Heim et al, Nucl. Instr. Meth. Phys. Res. A 966 (2020) 163854 (arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.13366).

Secondly, there is the SONIC chamber, which enables particle discrimination and particle-gamma coincidence analyses using silicon detectors at backward angles. Details can be found in the corresponding publication (arxiv: https: //arxiv.org/abs/1710.07106).
